Egypt's President Mohammed Naguib visits Church

Sheikh El Baquoori visits Kasr el Doubara Church

THE STORY OF THE POUND

Rev. Ibrahim Said invited Sheikh El Baquoori in 1956 to visit Kasr El Doubara Evangelical Church. He tore an Egyptian pound in half, kept one half and handed the other to the Sheikh. This tear caused the pound to lose its value. When both halves were joined together, its value was restored. This image symbolizes both faiths working together in solid unity for our country, Egypt. Rev. Said gave Sheikh El Baquoori the opportunity to address the congregation, he emphasized the importance of being united and strong.
